What is the issue affecting?

Formatting

Expected Behaviour

When I try to format my tables to be aligned by the equals sign, nothing happens when the align_continuous_rect_table_field has been set to true:

I expect this...:

local aligned_map = {
  foo = 1,
  foobar = 2,
}

to become this:

local aligned_map = {
  foo    = 1,
  foobar = 2,
}

Actual Behaviour

Nothing happens and the code stays as is.

Reproduction steps

1. Set align_continuous_rect_table_field´ to true`
2. Declare a table with non-aligning table-fields.
3. Try to format.

Additional Notes

I tested this both on VSCode and on Emacs. The behavior seems to be the same.

My .editoconfig is as follows:

root = true

[*]
charset = utf-8
indent_style = space
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true

[*.json]
indent_size = 2

[{makefile,makefile.*}]
indent_style = tab
indent_size = 2

[*.lua]
indent_size = 2
continuation_indent = 2
quote_style = double
table_separator_style = colon
trailing_table_separator = smart
space_around_table_field_list = false
align_continuous_assign_statement = true
align_continuous_rect_table_field = true
end_statement_with_semicolon = same_line

[CppCXY]

This behavior is lazy. The alignment rule is that there are at least 2 or more spaces in the equals sign and the left side in consecutive fields. If you want this behavior to be more active, you can set it to always.
